Wildflower Wholesale Nursery (Pty) Ltd was established in 2004 near the Hartbeespoortdam by Dr. Johan Wentzel, who is a geohydrologist by profession and his wife Annette, a facilitator of national scientific programmes.

Most plants in the nursery, suitable to Highveld conditions, were grown from seed collected in the wild. Currently the focus is on plants that occur in the Grassland Biome that has horticultural potential. Plants are also selected on their importance from a biodiversity aspect.

Currently the nursery stocks approximately 100,000 indigenous plants of 600 different species from the Grassland Biome as well as some others that do well in this environment..
